The server was unable to process the request due to an internal error.

Question

         
Properties set in my project are below
namespace EmployeeService
        public class Employee
            private int _Id;
            private string _Name;
            private string _Gender;
            private DateTime _DateofBirth;
            public int Id
                get { return _Id; }
                set { _Id = value; }
            public string Name
                set { _Name = value; }
                get { return _Name; }
            public string Gender
                set { _Gender = value; }
                get { return _Gender; }
            public DateTime DateofBirth
                set { _DateofBirth = value; }
                get { return _DateofBirth; }
This is the service i have developed in my project 
namespace EmployeeService
    // NOTE: You can use the "Rename" command on the "Refactor" menu to change the class name "Service1" in both code and config file together.
    public class EmployeeService : IEmployeeService
        public Employee GetEmployee(int Id)
            Employee objemp = new Employee();
            string cs = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["DBCS"].ConnectionString;
            using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(cs))
                SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("spGettblEmployeewcf", con);
                cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
                SqlParameter Idparameter = new SqlParameter();
                Idparameter.ParameterName = "@Id";
                Idparameter.Value = Id;
                cmd.Parameters.Add(Idparameter);
                con.Open();
                SqlDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
                while (dr.Read())
                    objemp.Id = Convert.ToInt32(dr["Id"]);
                    objemp.Name = dr["Name"].ToString();
                    objemp.Gender = dr["Gender"].ToString();
                    objemp.DateofBirth = Convert.ToDateTime(dr["DateofBirth"]);
            return objemp;
        public void SaveEmployee(Employee objemp)
            string cs = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["DBCS"].ConnectionString;
            using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(cs))
                SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("spInsertEmployeewcf", con);
                cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
                SqlParameter ParameterId = new SqlParameter()
                    Value = objemp.Id,
                    ParameterName = "@Id"
                cmd.Parameters.Add(ParameterId);
                SqlParameter ParameterName = new SqlParameter()
                    Value = objemp.Name,
                    ParameterName = "@Name"
                cmd.Parameters.Add(ParameterName);
                SqlParameter ParameterGender = new SqlParameter()
                    Value = objemp.Gender,
                    ParameterName = "@Gender"
                cmd.Parameters.Add(ParameterGender);
                SqlParameter ParameterDateofBirth = new SqlParameter()
                    Value = objemp.DateofBirth,
                    ParameterName = "@DateofBirth"
                cmd.Parameters.Add(ParameterDateofBirth);
                con.Open();
                cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
The Service Contract  code is
namespace EmployeeService
    // NOTE: You can use the "Rename" command on the "Refactor" menu to change the interface name "IService1" in both code and config file together.
    [ServiceContract]
    public interface IEmployeeService
        [OperationContract]
        Employee GetEmployee(int Id);
        [OperationContract]
        void SaveEmployee(Employee objemp); 
        // TODO: Add your service operations here
    // Use a data contract as illustrated in the sample below to add composite types to service operations
and i deployed the EmployeeService in iis and consuming the service in my web application the code is below
 protected void btnsave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
            EmployeeService.EmployeeServiceClient client = new EmployeeService.EmployeeServiceClient("basicHttpBinding");
            EmployeeService.Employee employee = new EmployeeService.Employee();
            employee.Id = Convert.ToInt32(txtid.Text);
            employee.Name = txtname.Text;
            employee.Gender = txtgender.Text;
            employee.DateofBirth = Convert.ToDateTime(txtdob.Text);
            client.SaveEmployee(employee);
        protected void btnget_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
            EmployeeService.EmployeeServiceClient client = new EmployeeService.EmployeeServiceClient("basicHttpBinding");
            EmployeeService.Employee employee = client.GetEmployee(Convert.ToInt32(txtid.Text));
            txtname.Text = employee.Name;
            txtgender.Text = employee.Gender;
            txtdob.Text = employee.DateofBirth.ToShortDateString();
and  when i am entering the details of employee Id,Name,Gender,DateofBirth and clicking save button iam getting the following error 
The server was unable to process the request due to an internal error.  For more information about the error, either turn on IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults (either from ServiceBehaviorAttribute or from the <serviceDebug> configuration behavior)
on the server in order to send the exception information back to the client, or turn on tracing as per the Microsoft .NET Framework SDK documentation and inspect the server trace logs.
Code in web.config file in Webapplication(Client) is the following

Things i have tried till now are 
1)changed the name of the name of the endpoint address basicHttpBinding to  basicHttpBinding_IEmployeeService but still get the save error.
2)Opened the Message Log Trace. Got the error as follows

Hi Mohan,
I didn't use Fiddler before, I just download and use it but how to see the request message from this software?
I have logged the request to event log before send to web service and copy this request from event log to testing with soapUI, so I don't think have between the actual messages being sent to your client via orchestration and soapui. In the log Response shape
I see the fault response in event log.
You can see
this link to know how to use fiddler. As I suggested above the error you need to check is at the server side who is hosting the service( your party ) because you are getting fault response properly from them. The webservice you are calling seems to look
like WCF service too. Your life would have been so easier if you could ask them to have firewall open from your dev box to their dev server so that you can use use "Add Service Reference" wizard, that even they have .NET wcf service too. 
Did you by any chance manage to talk to them what they are getting or if they can increase the exception details in the fault message for you?
